- How do I replace side panel tabs with icons I work on a laptop and they take up a lot of space. If I want to switch tabs I have to move my mouse to the arrow button and find the side panel tab to switch to. Icons would be much better (like the ones gedit uses).
- How do I make the full screen for source view enlarge just the source window. I'm guessing that is the behavior that would be most common.
Thanks,
Vineet

I'm afraid this is not possible at the moment in terms of not implemented. If there is some need for, patches are welcome ;)

I'm not sure what your request is about, but you can hide the sidebar as well as the bar on button of Geany. This should give you a way bigger room for source code. Also you might could show only small icons without text inside toolbar which might could save some more space.
Cheers, Frank

As Frank says. Maybe you could use the sidebar keybindings instead in the meantime.

It seems to enlarge the Message Window as well. Not sure if there's an easy way to prevent this.

That's exactly what I'm doing.

I could implement this myself as well if there was to chain key events and assign them another key.

Sorry, I don't understand how this relates to fullscreen. I think fullscreen should by default only expand the editor widget like you want, but the GtkVPane widget we use doesn't have an easy way to do this AFAICT.

Lets say I had a keybinding for each of the following: 1. show message window 2. Show toolbar 3. show side panel
Then i could have a third key binding Full Screen: which would call 1, 2, 3, above

Try the View->Toggle all Additional Widgets command. This doesn't also switch to fullscreen though.

This does not hide the side panel.
Yes in fact. It looks like its not done by the callback. Question is, would it make sense to do it?

Well, to answer my own question, I'd say yes.

I would further argue that toggle all widgets should be combined into full screen. I'm guessing 99% of the use cases of full screen are going to be to expand just the source window.

Maybe, although it depends what it's used for. If the idea is to use it sometimes to concentrate on a lot of code, I'm not sure the sidebar would get in the way. I suppose it depends how wide your source files are.
I changed the vague title so people interested in the behaviour might notice this thread, if they haven't already collapsed it.

No, I disagree. They can be used independently for good reasons.

And how big your font size is. But in general yes, when keeping 72 or maybe 80 chars it shouldn't be a problem even on smaller screens (for normal font size).

As Nick is also right, I'd like to suggest another option for this but I'm afraid this will be make it more complicated to understand for the user. However, I could imagine - Keeping Fullscreen out of this function - Toggeling also sidebar would at least be a good solution for me as I usually have the sidebar nevertheless closed.
